Kyma

"Since 2001, this Greek restaurant in Buckhead (with Santorini blue accents everywhere you look) has quietly remained a fancier seafood staple for business crowds and regulars with a favorite table. The menu is heavy with a variety of whole fish options like a lemony sea bass. But because their meze plates are so damn good, we often share an entree and opt to create an appetizer dinner. We’re talking: smoky salmon caviar, tender scallops in a yellow split pea puree, spicy ceviche, and a marinated octopus so tender it doesn’t really need to be chewed." - jacinta howard, juli horsford

"Greek restaurant offering high-quality seafood, an opulent chef’s tasting menu, and white-glove service." - Su-Jit Lin

"We feel borderline inappropriate rapidly devouring wood-fire-grilled octopus on Kyma’s white linen-covered tables. But it's easy to forget your surroundings—the giant ornate white pillars and posh international business groups—because that’s just how good the seafood is at this Greek restaurant in Buckhead. The tender octopus, garnished with olives and red onions, is simply the best we’ve had in this landlocked city. Throw in some entrees like the light and flaky whole fagri or lemon-heavy halibut and you’ve got yourself a great seafood meal." - nina reeder, juli horsford

"It only takes one meal at Kyma to discover why it’s stuck around since 2001. Actually, you’ll know as soon as the first course of assorted hummus with soft pita triangles hits the white tablecloth. The seafood-heavy Greek restaurant serves the best octopus in the city. It’s marinated with red onions and olives, and doesn’t really need to be chewed because it’s so tender. But they also have excellent takes on scallops, smoky salmon caviar, and whole roasted fagri that you can pick out yourself from the ice bed behind the hostess stand. Loud conversations from nearby tables of longtime Buckheadians and groups of business colleagues get progressively softer as you get into the thick of your meal." - Juli Horsford

"The Greek restaurant in Buckhead includes an intimate table for two in front of a gleaming white fireplace on its all-weather patio. Ask for the “fireplace table” when making reservations." - Lia Picard, Eater Staff
